Club Junior Under-11 2000

The under 11 competition was fenced on 12 May 2000. There was a strong entry of 9 fencers, fenced as a poule unique on two pistes.(For this age range, fights were fenced to the first of four hits, with a three-minute time range). A measure of the even spread of ability is that 5 places had to be decided on indicators. Victory went to Stephanie Ties, fencing well with a steady unhurried style.

Club Handicap 2000

The handicap this year had a strong entry, whith 17 fencers in the first round, reducing to a pool of 8 in the second round (one of whom had to retire, giving a pool of 7). The handicap system this year was the same as last - the better fencers have a lower handicap, and the handicap is added to the number of hits fenced.  First place from the pool was a tie between a fencer with a high handicap and a fencer with a low one, showing that the system works!

The table shows the results of the final pool:

7 Cassie Tickner-Smith 4 4 3 V 1 4   18 16 34 3

In the barrage for first place, Tim beat Jon by 5 hits to nil. (This saves the handicap system from any criticism in its adjustment for small pool sizes!)

Club Foil 2000

This was the first competition of the year 2000. The first round narrowed the number of competitors from 15 to 8, and the result of the final pool was

Club Novices' Foil 2000

There were eight entrants in the novices' foil this year, and it was an even contest with none having over a year's experience. The competition was organised as a pool unique, spread over two electric pistes.

Thanks should go to the referees and other helpers, and the club members who loaned electric equipment without which the competition could not have run properly.

Club 1-Hit épée 2000

This first competition of the season was fenced under rules which provided not only for a 1-all double defeat if a double hit was registered, but for a 0-all double defeat when a fight went to time!
Round A             Wins Ind Place
Meg Schofield   D D D D V 1 -3 6

Club Junior Foil June 1999

There were 11 entries, fenced in a pool unique and fiercely contested. First 3 places were:

1. Chloe Twydell (9 victories, after a barrage)
2. Edmund Hartland (9 victories)
3. Christopher Schofield (8 victories)

Club Handicap 1998/99

Round 1

The first round of the club handicap was fenced on 30 April 1999. This year electric equipment was used for the first time, which considerably de-randomised the scoring!

Bouts are fenced normally to five hits. However, ranking in the pool is based on the sum of hits scored and a pre-assigned handicap (which is adjusted for the size of the pool). In theory this system favours those with higher handicaps; but the results of pool 1 shows the theory does not always work out! Pool 2 is more typical; note that the handicaps are adjusted for the size of the pool, and that Tim Schofield's high handicap results from his having to fence left-handed as he is recovering from tennis elbow.

Club Handicap Final Round

The final round ended with an outright win to Meg Schofield (and it is the first time she has fenced foil in a year!). Jon employed some crafty foil techniques to counter Meg and David's épée tendencies and a barrage was necessary to decide second place. The two Christophers fought very well, with their shorter reach substantially compensated for by a much smaller target! The rather low spread of total scores shows that this handicap system is working quite well.

Club Epée Competition 1998/99

Paul won the competition comfortably on 12th March 1999. Meg's form was disappointing (she was recovering from two days of GCSE exam); but Jon made a very creditable second place, while Andy - who has only fenced Epée a few weeks - was unlucky his excellent footwork and timing only brought him one win. It was Ted Lacey's last competition before he retires to Devon, and this cannot be a bad result to take with him.

Club Matches

GMBG Launch - 29 January 2000

Guildford Fencing Club participated in the launch of the Guildford Millennium Borough Games by participating in a series of matches against Guildford Spectrum and Farnborough.  We are grateful to the Spectrum.sports centre for allowing us to use part of their main sports arena for this event, which was enthusiastically received by all who took part - especially our younger fencers, who tell me they would like more matches, please.

Epée

We tried out the new format - first to 45 - for the team épée event against Guildford Spectrum. An early lead by Tim against James was recovered by Simon's powerful performance against Derick in the second bout, and Spectrum then led all the way to a solid victory of 45 points to 35. Teams were:

Novice Foil

To equalise the numbers, Florian (who has recently joined Guildford) joined the Farnborough team for this match. The result was a 7-2 victory for Guildford, a triumph for the more experienced Guildford fencers against a slightly older average age of the Farnborough team.

Barwell Competition - 21 November 1999

Guildford. s team consisted of Meg Schofield (Ladies Foil), Simon Pearson (Epee), Steve Pope (Men. s Foil) and Dragan Radosavljevic. (Sabre). Simon and Dragan won four fights each, while Meg remembered enough about foil to win five fights. Overall, the team finished 3rd =, with the first place in this friendly Surrey team competition going once again to Wimbledon. Steve and Dragan are recent joiners at GFC and this was a good start in their first match for us.
